Eight games over? Buchhy and Lestah doing well, sun's out in Mudville and the Paw Sox are here. Doesn't get much better.
SAC, H.S. career people LIE pass it along.
I would kill that punk with an open ended timed ED that could go off anytime up to six hours and handcuff him to it.

I was talking with a MFY fan this morning and was like, "Yeah, Drew is terrible, and Gomes looks horrible, and Uehara is getting hit, and . . . holy shit this team is 15-7 and I'm going to quit bitching right now."

I will be stealing the new "I'm busier than..." line. Original stuff is great, especially when I get to copy it.

Go redsox. Down with welfare for terrorists. Up with death sentences, or better yet, can we blow his legs off with a bomb first and then let him bleed out on the sidewalk? That should cost less than prison and we can get all the materials we need for free.

(Yes, this asshole has female fan sites now. What kind of emotional issues does a woman suffer from if she thinks a child murderer, cop killer and multiple maimer is "hot" and just "needs some lovin'.")

Not ready to crow about the Sox just yet. If they can go 3-3 on the upcoming road trip to Toronto & Texas then they are solid (85-90 wins), if 4-2 on the trip then maybe we're in store for a 90-95 win year. Was at game on Wednesday where Lester walked (6?) batters and huffed and puffed at the umpire all game, then glared at him when he left the game. Hope Farrell spanked him after the game.

chip, if you'd been watching K-Zone you'd have seen why Lester was so upset. He struck out at least 4 guys that either were awarded a walk or got a hit later in the at bat. Last night it was just the opposite, with Buck getting strike calls on pitches 8 inches off the plate. Maybe I'm more sensitive to it now that NESN is showing the K-Zone on every pitch, but the ball/strike calls seem more random than ever. I think it is time to go to automated 'in-the-zone/out-of-the-zone' pitch calling, and let the ump worry about swing/no-swing, hbp and interference calls.

As much as I believe drawing and quartering to be the right punishment, I just don't see him ever being executed. Even if he's sentenced to die in Federal court, it'll take ten years, and by then there'll be another liberal supreme court appointment or two and they will take the death penalty off the table, at least for those under 21 at the time they commited the murder, if not everyone.

He'll probably go straight to SuperMax and then be in isolation for the rest of his days. For all you suddenly bloodthirsty folks in New England, you might want to consider the position of your candidate and his/her party on the death penalty the next time you go to the ballot box.

And not really having a good feel for what passes for cool in Group W (look it up), if they see him as a "litterer", solitary won't help him. They might however see him as a guy who "created a nuisance".

Got a look at Jackie Bradley,Jr. This guy is in a serious slump. Toronto's pitchers are not exactly locks to shine for the big club. Channeling my inner cliché spewing sports writer. Ballpark nearly empty, Sabres ended season and drew a full house. Can you say gluttons for punishment? Where did I put those...

@bwf, my point exactly. The death penalty will not survive another Dem administration in Washington and its Supreme Court appointment(s). So no matter how heinous the crime, such as blowing up random 8 year olds on the street, you get to keep sucking air.

Personally, I love that K-Zone is shown for every pitch now, rather than.. oh look, the pitcher is pissed, let's check where that pitch was. Now it's.. Oh Look, the Ump F'd that call up too and yep, pitcher is rightly pissed off.

And yes, I watched that game with Lester pitching, and I was screaming at the TV on some of those calls. Umps need to be reviewed for that crap, and for the fact that sometimes they are squeezing the hell out of the strike zone resulting in walks and/or hits because the pitcher basically has to deliver a middle/middle pitch to get a damn strike call.
